The Game will be performing in Los Angeles for the first time in nearly a year at the first annual Envy Expo this July.
The rapper is headlining the event, which is put together by DJ Skee in conjunction with Next Level Media and Hype Marketing. It will be a full-scale urban affair, featuring a rare combination of exclusive product showcases alongside entertainment from Los Angeles' finest.
"It's an honor to bring together some of my closest friends and associates including Mister Cartoon, The Game, Baron Davis, and everyone else under one roof for this one of a kind event at the world famous L.A. Convention Center," DJ Skee told BallerStatus.com. "I always dreamed of putting an event like this together showcasing everything in the urban lifestyle from sports and entertainment to cars and shoes. And thanks to Next Level Media as well as my team at Hype Marketing, we are going to throw the hottest and biggest event of the year!"
On display will be over 100 of the most exclusive vehicles in the world ranging from a $1.2 million dollar Bugatti, to customized and celebrity owned Lamborghinis, Rolls Royces and Bentleys, just to name a few.
In addition to vehicles, a pair of Nike Air Macks Crew shoes that sold for over $33,000 on eBay (the most expensive pair to date) will be on display, courtesy of Ben Baller, DJ AM, and DJ Homicide.
Legendary artist Mister Çartoon -- who is known for inking the bodies of Eminem, 50 Cent, Beyonce and Justin Timberlake, among others -- will be in attendance for his first public showcase with the Mister Cartoon, SA Studios, and Joker Brand booth, which will feature some of the rarest lowriders and old school vehicles ever seen, alongside artwork and murals from the tattoo artist himself, as well as a gallery from world-renowned photographer Estevan Oriol.
Other showcases will include a VIP Jewelry Expo showcasing high end and exclusive jewelry from some of today's biggest artists presented by Ballin', an Electronics Expo featuring the newest, hottest, and unreleased electronics ever seen, a Woman's Expo showcasing high end female oriented items including customized phones by Krystali of London, multi-million dollar boats, celebrity meet and greets, Playboy models, and more, according to Skee.
The expo takes place on Saturday, July 8th 2006 at the L.A. Convention Center.
But, that's not it. The Midsummer Night's Dream Game -- that will feature a Slam Dunk contest judged by NBA Athletes and some of the West Coasts biggest street ball players -- will take place the very next day (July 9th) at the Staples Center.
Tickets for Midsummer Night's Dream Game are available on TicketMaster.com, while tickets for the Envy Expo are available now for a special pre-sale price of $25 at EnvyExpo.com and DJSKEE.com, and will be $30 at the door.
